No-Bake Vegan Hemp Protein Bars

I made these vegan hemp protein bars last week and I wasn’t really planning on sharing the recipe but I wrote it down…just in case, and I’m so glad I did because they are so yummy!

You’ll need about 5 minutes to make them, then pop them in the fridge and shortly thereafter, presto! No-Bake Vegan Hemp Protein Bars! These bars are all-natural, preservative free, plant-based, easy to make and they tastes great. I don’t think you could ask for much more!

Hemp as a protein source

Organic hemp protein is a wonderful source of plant-based protein, it’s high in fibre and rich in essential fatty acids.

Hemp is one of my favourite plant-based protein sources. I eat hemp seeds daily and use organic hemp protein often in smoothies and recipes like these vegan hemp protein bars.

What makes hemp so fantastic is that it’s a complete protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids the body requires to make proteins. It’s also a great alternative to animal sources of protein because it’s low in saturated fats.

Hemp Protein and Hemp Seed Recipes

I’d recommend adding hemp to your diet whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan or otherwise, it’s a serious nutritional powerhouse and it’s very easy to incorporate into recipes. These delicious bars are a place to start!

Looks great, but it’s worth mentioning that it’s a carb bar, not a protein bar. I just calculated it ( http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/view/265952591596605 ) and it looks like each bar (if you cut into 9 bars) is about 5 grams of protein, 9 grams of fat and 16 grams of carbs (11 of which are sugar). Still, it does look good for people who need more carbs in their life 🙂
